Phones JO index (spec-based)
What does that mean in plain words?
Chipset: Spreadtrum SC7727S — basic tier (5/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing.
Battery: 1,850 mAh — a relatively small capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 5W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: LCD HD+, 4.3-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price.
Camera: 5 MP (1 lens) plus a 2 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.
